[Read the 73 books](https://blessbible.app/bible/) Comments ### The saints are the comments. Quotations from saints and Church Fathers under every verse, each naming its source or saying plainly that none confirms it, plus Bishop Challoner’s notes and Catechism links where they exist. Every comment is free. [How the comments work](https://blessbible.app/features/commentary/) **The saints on Matthew 25:40** - St. John Chrysostom · 4th c. > Do you wish to honor the body of Christ? Do not ignore Him when He is naked. Do not pay Him homage in the temple clad in silk only then to neglect Him outside where He suffers cold and nakedness. Homily on Matthew, 50 - St. John of the Cross · 16th c. > In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone. Sayings of Light and Love, 57 - St. Vincent de Paul · 17th c. > The poor are your masters and you are their servants. Conferences to the Daughters of Charity Study ### Behind every verse, a Study page. Context from Bishop Challoner’s chapter summaries and an introduction to each book; the Hebrew or Greek behind 92.9% of the protocanonical verses, or the Latin; and what the verse asks of you today.
